Warmup 

“Lisbon, Portugal based artist Vhils has been working around the idea of permanence, and the evolution of urban centers, for over a decade. From street poster collages to literally drilling portraits onto the sides of buildings, he created a conceptual body of work that not only challenges the idea of removal, but creates a visual identity to the city that defies traditional mural characteristics. In a way, he is reminding the viewer of the things that can be eradicated, and that the things we leave behind, physically or emotionally, have a place in the world.”  

“Much of what Vhils showed me were extraordinary works, based on ideas of permanence in the cities that he has either lived in or worked in, and the unique ways he combines these experiences into canvases, cement pieces, styrofoam works and even new works on old doors that are the standouts of the show.”

Week 21

Thursday-7th Grade Standard 3.  Invent and Discover to Create

2.  Restructure and apply the technical skills and processes required to achieve desired results in producing works or art

B.  Demonstrate and apply perceptual skills to create works or art

Objective:  Students will use the work of Erik Jones as inspiration when creating shapes.

Warmup 
"As each work is dissected, each referential gesture is revealed, it becomes clear there is no simple translation of Dixon's chosen symbology.  Stepping back to observe Dixon's work-irreverently swathed in a palette of pink, yellow, green and blue-observers are confronted with a banal economy of iconography.  Instead, each work contains a hollow cache of individual meaning, the gesture of replication rather than what is depicted on the canvas becomes Dixon's subject matter.  Whether a Greeco-Roman scene of erotic pampering or a ship bereft of time and place.  Dixon's characters are stripped of their original iconography, having been slowly distilled through the centuries, until only a singular message now remains: luxury."

Week 20-Erik Jones-Visual Art CDE

Week 20

Thursday-7th Grade Standard 3.  Invent and Discover to Create

2.  Restructure and apply the technical skills and processes required to achieve desired results in producing works or art

B.  Demonstrate and apply perceptual skills to create works or art

Objective:  Students will use the work of Erik Jones as inspiration when creating shapes.

Warmup 
"Jone's work has been bordering on abstraction for years, with peeks and subtle figurative faces and body parts emerging from rainbow-fog psychedelia.  This recent body of work places th female nudes directly inside the bright haze, as if appearing from a dream or drug trip.  They seem to interact and react to the color abstraction on each canvas, feeling extremely cohesive in  in presentation.  As the gallery notes, "The juxtaposition of abstraction and hyperrealism in Armor fosters tension between teh familiar and the fantastical.  This feeling is heightened in a selection of work where subjects are no longer submerged but instead become one with the artist's surreal interventions.  Anatomical parts have evolved into semi-recognizable amalgams of bright colors, reminiscent of Matisse and his interpretation of the female form, and are indicative of a new direction in Jones' iconic style."

Week 19-The Wreck of the Unvelievable-Visual Art CDE

Week 19

Thursday-7th Grade Standard 3.  Invent and Discover to Create

2.  Restructure and apply the technical skills and processes required to achieve desired results in producing works or art

A.  Create works of art from observation, photographs, and stored mental images.

Objective:  Students will create thumbnail sketches inspired by the artwork of Damien Hirst.

Warmup 
"So what did Hirst actually do?  Well, he created a narrative of a shipwreck, a shipwreck from a treasure ship called the Apistos (literally meaning "the Unbelievable", that sunk 2,000 years ago, but was discovered at the bottom of the sea in 2008 off the coast of Africa.  Already, you have to get yourself into a mindset that Hirst's wants you to suspend belief a bit, and the fact that it took him 10 years to do this project means he put a lot at stake that the audience, critics, and collectors would suspend belief with him.  But as "staged" images of the treasures began showing up on social media, and when the unveiling of the works showed up this weekend in Venice, it was definitely Hirst at his finest as both storyteller and provocateur.  From sculptures to photography, to Hirst's signature style of placing what appears to be the most mundane of objects in a vitrine to confuse and comment on what it is we deem as an art object, are all here.  And for that, it's a big new step in grandiose art presentations, but in the end, it should be Hirst to up the ante."

A.  Use planning tools to create works of art (DOK 1-2)

Objective:  Students will use graphic organizers to critique artwork in order to expand their abilities as artists.

Warmup 
"The luscious watercolor illustrations in War of the Blink(Locarno Press, 2017_, Michael Nicoll Yahgulannaas's new graphic novel, convey a story that was told bu the Haida people "long before there was a Canada or a United States."   Using his signature Haida manga style, a fusion of indigenous visual traditions from the Pacific Northwest and the graphic format of Japanese comics, Yahgulannaas translates oral history into a fluid, nonlinear reading experience, highlighting themes that feel surprisingly relevant to today's geopolitical standoffs."
